I'm going to add a bit of a left-field contribution since his work is less generative coding more mathematics and geometry in general, but it has inspired me when it comes to generative coding. I'm assuming the works he's done which are printed rather than painted were created in such a way not too dissimilar from creating coding.

Anyway, Clark Richert (https://www.clarkrichert.com/, see also MCA's page on him as well https://octopus.mcadenver.org/artists/clark-richert).

May I piggyback here? What software tools are used for this sort of work? I'm aware of/have tried: - Processing (as well as processing.py) - Nodebox - OpenSCAD (and its derivative PythonSCAD which allows using Python in it) EDIT: and METAPOST/Asymptote/TikZ which I forgot to mention What other tools would folks recommend?

I got really into OPENRNDR for a while, I really enjoy working with it.
